Patent number: 12547332Abstract: A failure of a block among a set of blocks of a memory device of a memory sub-system is detected. Based on detecting the failure of the block, the block is evaluated for reuse. The block is designated for reuse based on a result of the evaluating of the block. The block is allocated to a task based on the block being designated for reuse.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: February 10, 2026Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Robert Mason, Pitamber Shukla, Scott Anthony Stoller, Stuart A.

Patent number: 12473765Abstract: A hinge assembly utilizes first and second hinge members. Each hinge member has an attachment body and a pair of laterally spaced apart opposite arms. Each arm has an aperture for receiving a cylindrical member for rotatably coupling the hinge members together so that the hinge members are rotatable about the cylindrical member. The arms of each of the first and second hinge members are spaced apart the same distance, with each arm of having an outer face that faces away from the opposite arm and an inner face that faces the opposite arm. The hinge members are configured so that each arm of each hinge member interfaces with one arm of the other hinge member with the arms of the hinge members being in an offset arrangement wherein the outer face of only one arm of each hinge member interfaces the inner face of only one arm of the other hinge member.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2022Date of Patent: November 18, 2025Assignee: SGDH, LLCInventors: Robert Mason, Lotan Stern

Patent number: 12229024Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems including memory self-recovery management to correct failures due to soft-error rate events. The self-recovery manager detects a failure of a memory device. The self-recovery manager retrieves a set of register values from the memory device. The self-recovery manager stores the set of register values from the memory device. The self-recovery manager issues a reset command to the memory device, the reset command including generating a re-initialized set of register values. The self-recovery manager compares the set of register values with the re-initialized set of register values. The self-recovery manager triggering a self-recovery attempt using the comparison of the set of register values with the re-initialized set of register values.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2024Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Robert Mason, Scott A.

Patent number: 11726967Abstract: A versioned file storage system (VFS) and method for operating and using the same is disclosed. In an aspect, a mechanism is provided wherein a first VFS interface unit coupling the VFS to a local data storage system is replaced with a second VFS interface unit in a coordinated procedure for taking the first unit offline, making a reliable snapshot of its data and cache structure in the VFS, and loading the same data and cache structure into the second VFS interface brought online. The first and second VFS interfaces transfer the necessary data to achieve the switch through respective side-loading daemons running in each interface. Clients in the local data storage system experience minimal interruption of services in the VFS.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Nasuni CorporationInventors: Christopher S.

Patent number: 11616742Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods and systems for transferring a user's messaging history from one device to another. A user's primary device, storing the official truth of the user's messaging history, establishes an end-to-end encrypted session with a new device, using a first decryption key during initial session setup. The primary device may conglomerate all or a portion of the messages comprising the user's messaging history into a data blob which is encrypted and sent to a blob store. An E2E encrypted message is sent from the primary device to the new device, via an intermediate server. The E2E encrypted message includes a second key for decrypting the data blob and a pointer to the location of data blob on the blob store. The new device retrieves the data blob from the blob store and decrypts the data blob using the second key to extract plaintext versions of the user's messages and adds the messages to the messaging application on the new device.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: WhatsApp LLCInventors: Alfonso Gomez Jordana Manas, Bruno Rafael Penteado Muratore, Cheng Tian, Daniel Lozano Valdes, Maksym Koshtenko, Oleg Sukhodolskii, Robert Mason, Theodore Elliot Yaung
